Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia and Thailand settled for a 0-0 draw in the 2018 AFF Cup semi-finals first leg at the National Stadium in Bukit Jalil on Saturday.
Malaysia started strongly and came close within the first five minutes with Safawi Rasid blazing over the bar twice as the Harimau Malaya looked to impose themselves early on in front of a sold-out stadium.
And it was Safawi again who went close to breaking the deadlock with the first meaningful shot on target in the 19th minute.

Kuala Lumpur: There will be a very pronounced AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 flavour to the 2018 AFF Cup semi-finals with three of the four teams gearing up for the Continental showpiece on January 5-February 1.
Thailand, Vietnam and Philippines - ASEAN's three representatives at UAE 2019 - advanced without much fuss to the semi-finals with the Sven-Goran Erikkson-led Azkals impressing by holding Indonesia 0-0 at the imposing Gelora Bung Karno in their final Group B tie to seal a last four berth.
Malaysia missed out on qualifying for the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 and Tan Cheng Hoe's side will be aiming for regional glory to make up for missing on the Continental extravaganza.
